Professional- Caring- All Star in Court!

I had a messy divorce 3 years with a trial. Atty Hanley was great. She was great at laying out my case which made us more credible and gave me a feeling that my voice was heard. Besides the above mention she is fair and realistic, she will tell you what to fight for and what not to fight for. Her f...ees are fair and reasonable for a divorce especially when you feel like finances are a disaster. Divorce is a situation no one wins and that’s why you need a lawyer like Cynthia fighting for you!

Worst attorney , took money first and foremost, only concerned about getting money.

She forced me to sign and then liquidate my assets ...before she would do anything . I found this appalling. She was not helpful or cordial. She was all about the money and consulted the other party without my knowledge or consent

amazing

Cynthia was recommended to me by my parent's estate attorney. Divorce is never an easy thing on any level and I must admit that being a male, I was rather nervous with female representation. But, I found Cynthia to be kind, understanding, professional and most of all my biggest champion!! Along th...is difficult road, I felt that Cynthia always had my back. Not only was she a fierce advocate on my behalf but she was very approachable and patient with my numerous questions and concerns. Her responses were always prompt - whether it be by phone or e mail. She was never condescending or rude. Thank you Cynthia for helping me get my life back in order !

Highly Professional

Attorney Hanley Is a true attorney unlike many others attorneys. I have been divorced for over 17 years and my X still tries to get more money from me. During these 17 years Attorney Hanley has always been available to ask questions and get advise. She is a true Attorney who really cares about your ...best interest.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
